HB 214 Treasurers' sales; relief for certain purchasers of property sold prior to designated date.
Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Claims; relief for purchasers of property sold at treasurers' sales. Provides a legal right to certain persons who purchased real property prior to June 1, 1973, at delinquent tax sales conducted by local treasurers. Prior to 1973, the law in effect provided that real property for which real estate taxes were delinquent was to be sold by the treasurer in December of each year at a tax sale. The purchaser at the tax sale then would have been eligible after a number of years to make application to obtain clear title. However, a statute that would have kept the process in place for the purchaser to obtain clear title was repealed in 1984 pursuant to the recodification of Title 58 of the Code of Virginia because it was deemed "obsolete." The bill would allow certain enumerated individuals who purchased property prior to June 1, 1973, at a treasurer's tax sale, who have not received deeds for the properties purchased, to institute a court proceeding under the provisions of former law to obtain a deed to the property. The bill has a sunset date of July 1, 2010. The bill also contains an emergency clause.
